Instructions
- Wash 1 pound baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut each potato in half.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons Lawry’s or other favorite seasoning blend. Toss until all potato pieces are evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if they do not fit without crowding).
- Air fry at 400°F for 22–25 minutes, shaking or turning the potatoes once about halfway through cooking (after roughly 11–12 minutes). Potatoes are done when they are tender inside and golden and crispy on the outside.
- While the potatoes cook, make the dip: in a small bowl stir together 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives until smooth and combined.
- Transfer cooked potatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately with the creamy garlic dip.
Notes
Storing:Store leftover crispy air fried potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating:To reheat, toss potatoes in the air fryer for a few minutes at 400°F to crisp them up and warm them through.
Arrange in Even Layer:When air frying potatoes, you’ll want to arrange them in an even layer and not overcrowd the basket. You may have to air fry in batches to do this properly. This will help the potatoes cook evenly and get extra crispy.
Shake:Halfway through cooking give your potatoes a little shake, or flip with some tongs. This will help them cook evenly and help them not stick to the air fryer basket.
Check for Tenderness:When the potatoes are done cooking, poke them with a fork to check that they’re tender and ready to serve. If they need a little extra time, air fry them in two minute increments until they’re perfect.
